Bernadette Peters
Broadway Barks came about as a result of Bernadette Peters' and Mary Tyler Moore's passion for animals.
Originally conceived as a program to promote the adoption of shelter animals, Broadway Barks has evolved into an event that has not only focused on the plight of homeless animals but has opened the door of communication and fostered a spirit of community among the numerous shelters and rescue groups working throughout the city.
Previously many of these groups struggled in anonymity and isolation left to their own devices for promotion and fundraising in a job which is emotionally draining.
As Broadway Barks looks toward the future our goal is to continue in the path already established as well as focus more attention on education, targeting such areas as responsible pet ownership, spay/neuter, and the importance of pet identification.
